Overview
We are recruiting a permanent Service Performance Analyst to join the Digital and Services Team in the Strategy, Transformation and Assurance Directorate. This is a new post that provides an exciting opportunity for someone who is motivated and passionate about improving public services. The role will work closely with the Service Performance Lead, who has overall responsibility for setting direction and influencing senior leaders. As a Service Performance Analyst, you will support the Lead by providing high-quality analysis, insight, tools and guidance to help services measure and improve performance. You will be central to building the evidence base and consistent standards that underpin our approach to service performance.
The role will initially involve:
* Contributing to the development and maintenance of frameworks, metrics and standards for service performance (including the Service Model).
* Supporting the Lead in providing guidance, tools and templates to help services measure performance consistently and effectively.
* Producing dashboards and narrative insight to help leaders understand service outcomes and areas for improvement.
* Assisting services to complete maturity assessments and track transformation progress.
You will be comfortable analysing data and insight, liaising with service leads and senior leaders across the EA and Defra, and translating complex findings into clear recommendations. The role suits someone who is adaptable, curious, and motivated to make a difference in how the EA measures and improves the services it delivers. If you lack substantial experience in service performance measurement but are strong in analysis, insight, business change or transformation, please consider applying for this role.
